My boys (4 and 6) have been going to Kathleen for 2 years now and they love going there. Kath offers a home from home environment for my children, which I think is really important, but also helps greatly from an educational point of view as she gets them to do plenty of fun activities where they are learning without it seeming like homework!
My youngest started with Kath when he was just 2 and would spend the whole day with her, since then he moved on to mornings at preschool and afternoons with Kath and in September he will be going to primary school and we will be using Kath for wraparound care. Thanks to Kath, my son has become a confident, outgoing boy who loves to learn and play. I think he was ready to start school last year, so I know that thanks to Kath's help, he won't have any trouble settling in in September.
When they are with Kath, I know that my boys are in a fun environment with other children to play with and lots of fun activities to do. They are very well fed with healthy meals and snacks after school, so that is something I don't need to worry about when I pick them up at the end of the day.
Communication with Kath is great. She is friendly and communicative and keeps you up to date on the activities your children have done and the progress they are making.
I can honestly say that I would be completely lost without Kath! I am so very grateful to her for the wonderful way in which she looks after my children. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.
